Abstract

Myeloid-mediated immunosuppression is a potential mechanism of resistance to PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in metastatic (m)NSCLC. Our group has previously demonstrated that expansion of myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC), of which the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) acts as a surrogate, is associated with poor survival to ICI treatment. We hypothesized that patients with high NLR may preferentially benefit from combination ICI with chemotherapy as a myeloid debulking therapy.
